Guys I'm trying to figure out posting. I'm not too good with this stuff. If this works, it should be a picture of myself with my elk killed in muzzleloader season. Patience please.

Here's the link to photobucket, but I can't get it to appear.

Here you go!




Mmmmmm, elk steak!

Good Luck and Good Hunting,

Thanks EKM, but can you please tell me how you did.

Hale87,

You had used the following as the origin of the photograph and if I was wanting to go to that website and visit that photo, then "http://img36.photobucket.com/albums/v110/hale87/?action=view¤t=Dean_A.jpg" would probably do the trick, but......

The "key" for posting the photo onto HuntingNet.com is to go over to your photo "server" and locate the photo you desire to post (go to the full size one NOT the thumbnail) and then "right click" on the photo. This will bring up a menu, now go down to "Properties" and select it. It will give you information about the photo web address.... THAT is the address you want to "copy and paste" into HuntingNet.com. In this case it is "http://img36.photobucket.com/albums/v110/hale87/Dean_A.jpg". Notice that the two addresses ARE different, an inch is as good as a mile -- I edited out the "action=view¤t=" part as it looked more like web "routing" than web picture. This latter is the one you want to enter into HuntingNet.com via "image" button located above the post editting space.

If you want to practice, then you can just scroll up from this post to the photo and "right click" on the it and you will see the menu pop up, go to Properties, and you are there. Learned it from the boys over at AccurateReloading.com.

Now, lets see some more photos of that elk hunt!
A story would be nice too!

Good Luck and Good Hunting,
EKM

Thanks, EKM. Here's a picture of the elk with my brother and my son.

Picture of brother Jim and his cow. Neck shot at about 25 yards.

Picture of the gang ready to come home.

Swung around by Douglas Wyoming on the way home to visit with "cousin Bill". He works and guides on a 28000 acre ranch near Douglas.

Nice looking pics...

Story Maybe?? [>:]

Outline suggestions:
Trip out?
Accomodations?
Distance hunted, elevation, terrain, cover?
Weather, temperatures?
Strategy vs. reality?
Misadventures?
Field Dress and Pack out?
Processing?
Wrap Up?

We are a long way from elk season --- we're needing a vicarious experience here to care us over.

Good Luck and Good Hunting,
EKM

EKM, thanks for the encouragement, but everytime I try and give the entire story, I get an error message when I attempt to post it. I'm not very fast with the typing thing because I only have one finger on my left hand. You can see that in my picture. Any ideas as to why it seems like it's "timing out" before I can get posted. Twice I've spent over an hour writing this thing and twice I've been shot down. The bad thing is that it's gone, and you can't even back page to try and save it. Any ideas?

Hale87,
Good for you. If this forum hasn't "stolen" some of your stuff, then most of what you write is bite size. It has happened to me several times and I have learned to defend myself!

Option 1 - Highest Risk
Do nothing and hope it posts -- not a good idea if you've got lots of content!.

Option 2 - Medium Risk (You've got to remember)
BEFORE you hit the "post" button, highlight everything you have written and hit "Control C" the universal windows "copy" command. If HuntingNet.com loses your post then you usually have to login again (even though it shows your name), BUT then you can login in, redo the post and then "Control V" and copy everything back into the post that HuntingNet.com just lost. BUT you have to remember to do this BEFORE you hit the "post" button.

Option 3 - No Risk
Copy what ever post it is that you are going to respond to into Microsoft Word (for easy reference) and then write your response there (offline), then clean it up. [Note: Don't bother making it pretty in Word with italics and bold and font changes; when it goes into Huntingnet.com which is html based all that will be lost]. Then copy what you've written from Word into a freshly opened HuntingNet.com post/thread and as far as HuntingNet.com knows you are a VERY fast writer and it has no "desire" to clock you out and even if it did, every thing is saved in Word.

Good Luck With Your Efforts,
EKM

BTW, they are way quicker to write the second time as far as composing it goes. Aggravating, but quick.
